A Jersey City man was killed Monday morning in a collision between a tractor-trailer and a box truck in Teaneck that shut down lanes on Route 95 for nearly four hours, an employee and authorities said.

The box truck was pinned under the back of a ShopRite tractor-trailer on Route 95 northbound in Teaneck at about 6:49 a.m., said State Trooper Charles Marchan. William Wright, 50, died at the scene.

Wright worked for Dasilva Trucking, based in New York, according to data from the Department of Transportation.

When reached by phone, an employee at the trucking company said the driver had worked at the company for two months.
